Cards Dominate Penn State- Abington

3/22/2009

WASHINGTON- The CUA men's lacrosse team showed their explosive
offensive prowess at Cardinal Stadium Sunday afternoon, defeating
the Penn State- Abington 19-3. With the victory, CUA improves to
4-2 on the year, while PSA drops to 0-6.

The Cards dominated in nearly every statistical category,
outshooting their opponent a startling 52-9, and earning 25 more
groundballs. The well-balanced offensive attack was led by Chris
Fuccillo (Patchogue, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) and Jimmy Bitonti
(Potomac, Md./Good Counsel) who each recorded three goals and one
assist. Justin Schaufler (Bernardsville, N.J./Bernards), Kyle Brant
(Silver Spring, Md./St. John's), and Jimmy Sinnott (Blue Bell,
Pa./LaSalle) added two goals apiece, and combined for four assists.
Sinnott also led the squad with five ground balls in the victory.

CUA opened up the scoring with a goal by Mike Scotto (Belmar,
N.J./St. Rose) off a pass from Mike Groh (Walpole,
MA./Xavarian Bros) just a minute and a half into play. The
offensive barrage continued throughout the first two stanzas, as
the Cards outscored the Nittany Lions 11-1.

The second half mirrored the first, as CUA increased their lead
to 16-1 by the end of the third quarter. PSUA was finally able to
connect on two shot attempts, but back-to-back Cardinal goals in
the final minutes gave CUA their 19-3 victory.

Men's lacrosse will travel to Marymount (Va.) on Tuesday, March
24th for a non-conference match up. Game time is set for
7 p.m.
